April 21st, 2016 – North Bitters
Ugh…today was a long day. I still kind of ache…but I’ll get to that later.
Me and Alice got up this morning only to find that Punchy had already left. After breakfast we decided to try to hunt him down, since Amber wanted us to head back to the ranch.

We headed towards the farmland area to see if we could look for him, and instead we ran into some Helioptile who were stealing berries! Me and Alice were able to fight them off (though one of them hit me with a Tackle, ow…), and the farmers were nice enough to reward us with some berries for our trouble. How nice of them! We didn’t find Punchy though…

Once we got back into town we went over to the Pokemon Center so that Alice could patch me up, and to our surprise Punchy and Amber came by a few minutes later! We went to go eat, and then we headed to the ranch.

To the surprise of no one (except Punchy), the ranch was actually the dojo! What was more of a surprise was that Amber was apparently a normal elementalist! Before we knew it, Punchy chose to challenge it…he was expected to fight Amber and her party of Porygon, Helioptile, and Mincinno. Obviously he couldn’t do that by himself, so I…um….actually volunteered to be on Punchy’s team (after some encouragement from Amber and Punchy), and I…kind of panicked a little bit. I mean, I can’t fight! I mean, I can a little bit, but not well…

And…well…we lost. Alice told me afterwords that it was pretty close, but I don’t know if she was just trying to make me feel better about it…Punchy, um…went down pretty much instantly. Everything ganged up on him, and it was honestly kind of hard to watch. I knew he took a lot, but it was still scary to see him go down so fast…

I found myself using all of my techniques, but even that wasn’t enough…it got to the point where I was so hurt I couldn’t concentrate enough to fight. Thankfully, I was able to concentrate enough to deflect a burst directed to me and Magby(which probably would have taken us both down), and that must have helped with my focus a little bit, letting me concentrate enough to take Amber down! …then I went down myself, heh…

…but yeah…I still ache. I got hurt really bad, probably more than anyone else did. If I hadn’t lost my concentration there, we might have won…but…well, I didn’t, so…I tried my best, but I guess my best wasn’t good enough. I’m going to apologize to Punchy tomorrow…I just don’t think we’re ready for this kind of thing yet.

Other than…that…not much happened. I was out for most of the rest of the day. I think this whole dojo thing is going to be much harder than we thought………….[the ink after this point is too smudged to read]
